IRDAI Assistant Manager Cut Off: Previous Year Marks

The IRDAI Assistant Manager cut-off works at three points. Phase I has sectional and overall qualifying marks, Phase II has an aggregate cut-off out of 300 that decides who is called for interview, and the final list is drawn on a combined score out of 100 that weights Phase II and the interview at 85:15. Cut-offs can also be set separately for each stream.

The figures on this page are indicative category-wise scores from the 2023 and 2024 cycles, compiled from published results. They do not show a stream-wise break-up, and no cycle has been notified since August 2024. Use them as benchmarks for your own target, not as official minimums for the next exam.

Cut-off Trend

  • Phase I rose sharply: The UR Phase I cut-off went up by 22.25 marks, from 87.25 in 2023 to 109.50 in 2024, and EWS rose by almost 40 marks.

  • Phase II stayed steady: The UR Phase II cut-off moved only from 183 to 178 out of 300, around 60% in both years.

  • Final scores cluster in the mid-60s to low-70s: Across categories, the final selection score sat between about 64 and 74 out of 100 in both cycles.

The pattern suggests that Phase I can swing a lot with paper difficulty, while Phase II demands consistently strong writing of around 60% or more.

What Affects the Cut-off

  • Vacancies: With only 49 posts in 2024, and 5 in most streams, small changes in vacancies move cut-offs noticeably.

  • Paper difficulty: An easier Phase I pushes the qualifying marks up, as 2024 showed.

  • Number of applicants: More candidates per post usually means a higher bar at each stage.

  • Shortlisting ratio: Around 20 times the vacancies are called for Phase II, so the Phase I cut-off is roughly the score of the last candidate in that group for each stream.

  • Sectional minimums: Each Phase I section has its own cut-off, so a good total alone is not enough to qualify.

How to Set Your Target Score

Cut-offs change every year with difficulty, vacancies and the number of applicants. Treat last year's figures as a benchmark only, and aim for a clear margin above them rather than a bare pass.

Stage

Benchmark (UR, 2024)

Safer Practice Target

Phase I

109.50 out of 160

120 or more in mocks, with no section below about 25

Phase II

178 out of 300

195 or more, about 65%, on timed practice sets

Final

69.16 out of 100

Aim for a Phase II score that leaves room for an average interview

A Testkart test series also makes it easier to see whether your weakest section is moving above the safe range over time.Official results and any cut-off notices are published on https://irdai.gov.in/.
